Adjustment of handlebar tilt and brake levers on BERGAMONT city, trekking,
urban and kids’ bikes
The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends. Set the handlebars to a position
in which your wrists are relaxed and not turned outwards too much (d).
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the bottom or front side of the stem.
Turn the handlebars to the desired position.
Make sure the handlebars are accurately centreed in the stem. Carefully retighten the
bolt(s) with the torque wrench. Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots of the
stem are parallel and identical in width (e).
Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern (f), i.e. alternately and gradually, to the
lower value of the recommended torque values using a torque wrench.
Once clamped in the stem try rotating the handlebars and tighten the bolt a little
more, if necessary. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum torque
values! You find them directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the
component manufacturers. If the handlebars are not tight with the prescribed torque
value, use carbon assembly paste.
After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the brake lever/shifter units.
Release the Allen bolt at either unit. Turn the levers relative to the handlebars. Sit in
the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
COCKPIT ADJUSTMENT
Brake lever reach adjustment on BERGAMONT city, trekking, urban and kids
bikes
With most brake systems the distance between the brake levers and the handlebar
grips is adjustable. This gives in particular riders with small hands (a) the convenience
of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars.
On most bikes there is a small adjusting screw near the point where the brake
cable of a cable brake enters the brake lever unit or at the lever itself. Turn this bolt
clockwise and watch how the lever adjusts as you do so. Note that the brake lever
has a free travel of one third before the pressure point of the brake is reached.
Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices at the brake lever (b). There
are different systems (A+B). Ask your BERGAMONT dealer for advice or read the
manuals of the component manufacturers.
When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the first phalanx of the index finger
reaches around the brake lever (c). Check the proper adjustment and functioning
of the brake system subsequently, as described in the chapter “Brakes” and in the
manuals of the component manufacturers.
DANGER!
G
Make sure your child cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars.
Your maximum braking force must be reached short of this point.
NOTE!
I
In the case of hydraulic brakes and disc brakes follow the manual of the brake
manufacturer. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
BERGAMONT dealer.
